The eternal promised land is Heaven. It is promised to everyone who follows Jesus faithfully. Not everyone will get to enter the promised land because of sin. God can't be where sin is, so Heaven is a sin free place.
As Christians, everyday is a part of our journey with God. Every day we get a little closer to Heaven. That is why we can't become complacent. We can't afford to lose sight of our destination. To know where we stand we each have to ask ourselves some questions. Do I have a personal relationship with God? Do I yearn to be with God? Is it all knowledge or is it faith? The answer to these questions will tell you where you are headed today.
Eternity is beyond complete comprehension. We have an idea and it may be overwhelming with it's vastness, but we don't really fully understand it. If we did, I don't think anyone would get distracted and lose focus from the end game. We are working to spend eternity with God in a place where we will be fulfilled, find true rest, and peace.
When you enter the eternal promised land, you have reached the goal. It will be a new life. You no longer have to fight, struggle, or push through. You will have made it. It will be time of worship. How could you not worship God when you see all He has done for you in the grand scope.
We need to be grateful now while we are alive. Jesus is the main part of our identity. God created us to be your truest and purest selves. To be holy is to respond to God's presence in worship. It is more than actions. It is an attitude. It is response to the greatest joy.
